23.01.2022 If you have trouble with sleep, I can’t urge you strongly enough to address this now. The health consequences of poor sleep are well documented. It’s so important! Address sleep hygiene and definitely get medical advice if things don’t improve.

19.01.2022 What you eat and your body’s energy requirements to function properly needs to be in balance. Active people under-eating is just as much a thing as those who believe they don’t eat very much, but actually eat well over their energy needs each week. Each creates its own set of health issues. Get advice to address your individual nutritional needs. Cookie cutter generic diets and meal plans are a recipe for disaster.

19.01.2022 EFFORT The most important variable in terms of whether any training program will be effective for an individual or not. You can have the best written program around, however if it is not carried out with the required effort, the results just won’t happen. Keep these factors in mind when you train:-... Resistance Training - when you complete any exercise, in whatever rep range, you need to perform them to an intensity where the final couple of reps in each set are really tough. If you get through all reps easy, the weight you are using is too light or the tempo too fast. Keep increasing weight for sets until you find a working weight that really challenges you. That is set 1. Try to complete all your working sets at that weight, and try to progress up in future sessions. (However, if you can’t make it close to the rep range with good form, it is too heavy and you should go down a weight). Ask yourself what your rate of exertion feels like. If you feel like you are breezing through a training or conditioning session - you are not the fittest or strongest person on the planet , you obviously haven’t pushed yourself hard enough. Eg. If you are asked to Row 500m, you should be doing this as fast as you can, not a casual row. You should feel very uncomfortable and out of breath at the end. If you’ve talked your way through a workout, I guarantee you haven’t put in 100% Rest intervals - are prescribed, but rarely adhered to. I see this everyday. Sitting on your phone, talking, taking selfies between sets, checking yourself out in the mirror all takes your mind off the job and dilutes your training meaning you’re no longer working to the desired intensity for your body to require adapting to. So keep a check on just how long you rest between sets and your focus and intent. Of course there are many other factors which can effect your training results:- Nutrition Stress and sleep Hydration Compliance & Consistency Programming But if you only ever train at half strength, expect half strength results. Train with focus and get stuck into it - this gives you a much better chance of achieving the changes you want. #justdoit

11.01.2022 BONE HEALTH IN OLDER ADULTS. We always tend to think and rationalize our treatment and programming approach in terms of a muscle, tendon, ligament, or specific ...pathology. When it comes to older adults, we as strength coaches and allied health professionals need to be particularly cautious about other health markers. One of them I wanted to talk about is bone health and osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a loss of bone mineral density. It is a disease that weakens the bones to the point where they break easily. Bones in the hip, spine, and wrists are most vulnerable. Myth 1 It is believed that osteoporosis is a natural part of aging. It's true that the risk of osteoporosis grows as you get older. However, there are many things we can do to prevent it from getting worse. The top three are: getting enough calcium, vitamin D, and implement resistance training into your exercise routine. Myth 2 Only women get it. At the time of menopause, women may lose bone quickly for several years. But men can still be affected, by the age of 60 both men and women are losing bone at the same rate. Myth 3 You'll know when your bones get weaker. Unfortunately, you can't feel your bones get weaker. You may not know you’ve got it until you’ve broken a bone or get a bone density test done. It’s a "silent disease". Myth 4 Bones can't get stronger. On the contrary, it is possible to rebuild bone. Bones, like any other tissue in the body, adapt to load. Things to consider: - Bone adaptations occur where stress is applied. - Principle of progressive overload is applied to bone tissue too. - "Use it or lose it" is not just about muscle or tendon. - "Lowest bone mineral density will increase the most" (similar to those most deconditioned) - BMD improves faster at the beginning and then improvements slow down. Watson et al. 2017

10.01.2022 Advice from María Sabina, Mexican healer and poet - Heal yourself with the light of the sun and the rays of the moon. With the sound of the river and the water...fall. With the swaying of the sea and the fluttering of birds. Heal yourself with mint, neem, and eucalyptus. Sweeten with lavender, rosemary, and chamomile. Hug yourself with the cocoa bean and a hint of cinnamon. Put love in tea instead of sugar and drink it looking at the stars. Heal yourself with the kisses that the wind gives you and the hugs of the rain. Stand strong with your bare feet on the ground and with everything that comes from it. Be smarter every day by listening to your intuition, looking at the world with your forehead. Jump, dance, sing, so that you live happier. Heal yourself, with beautiful love, and always remember ... you are the medicine. " See more

09.01.2022 We are in our 7th week now of our Foundations Strength Program and I have to share some of the positive feedback I have received from the group so far. @kaseylee.d is what many would call a perfect client. She has committed to the program 100% and I have virtually seen her metamorphosis before my eyes. She is usually at the gym every morning when I arrive and she completes every exercise with perfect form and tempo and to the best of her ability, each set. She has taken pr...ogress photos and given me a sneak peak, and they are incredible. But you don’t need photos to see the change believe me! What it shows is that even though the program is designed to be simple, it is still very effective. Dedicate yourself and follow the plan consistently and feel the difference. That’s the only secret there is to success! Kasey has a young family, but has managed to organise things so she can get to the gym to get the sessions done. Congratulations Kasey on such a great effort. Your results so far are a credit to you #stenhousefitness #foundationsstrength #strongwomen #fitnessmotivation @kaseylee.d @soniasten @murillafitness

08.01.2022 Chronic stress is a killler. The physical affect throughout your body is undeniable and this is why I feel it should be No.1 on the list of health factors to address. This is a great video to watch. It is very true - many people can’t remember what it feels like to not feel stressed. They will say they don’t feel stressed Yet their health tells a very different story. ... Stressed bodies are angry bodies. Learn breathing and other techniques to help calm the storm

06.01.2022 The bowel is made from very flexible tissue. It can stretch up to a good few metres. And when it's not being used, it’s very tiny, a bit like noodles. What is... your bowel and what does it do? Is it all about making poo? In the latest episode of My Amazing Body we interview Dr Ming Ho on the bowel.

03.01.2022 Looking for the owner of this Ring, found at the gym this morning. I have it in the office, so let me know if it’s yours.

02.01.2022 Please ensure resistance bands at the gym are used for their designed purpose and not over-stretched. This hand held band has been overstretched and busted (un-useable) and been put back on the rack and tried to be covered up by other bands Please make me aware of any breakages when they occur. I understand everything gets wear and tear over time. However we need to make sure equipment is used properly as well. Hand held bands are not to be used as power bands. ... And it’s not a good look to have broken gear put back on the shelf. Thankyou for keeping this in mind in the future Sonia

01.01.2022 Some more updated progress from our Foundations Strength Program members. Here is Kasey who has also continued with our program past the initial 12 weeks. As you can see, along with feeling much fitter and stronger, Kasey has gone through quite a dramatic change of body composition since she started. What does Kasey do? Basically, she is VERY consistent in turning up and getting all the sessions done each week. Both strength training and aerobic conditioning. ... Kasey is a young mum, but has organised her time to be able to come into the gym most mornings and have this time to focus on herself. Fitness will require you to make training time one of the priorities in your week. But It doesn’t require hours on end each day and it doesn’t need to be complicated or super stressful on your body. I’m so happy to hear about the health benefits that our program members have been noticing along the way - improved sleep, increased energy, increased strength, reduced joint pain and generally feeling great. Many have noticed fat loss, clothes fitting better and muscles! There’s no magic involved. Just follow a plan consistently, giving it your best effort. Once you feel how good it feels, you’ll never look back #healthylifestyle #healthandfitness @kaseylee.d @soniasten
